Filters Which Are Useless.

The Rhode Island Medical society has Just
listened to a paper by DR.. Swarts, Of Provi-
dence, in which he gives the results of series
of experiments on various devices for filter
ing water at the mouth of the faucet These
experiments were carefully made under the
conditions usually presented in dwelling
houses. His conclusions are wholly unfavor-
able to any form OF filter within his knowl-
edge He reports that the best of them can
only cleanse the water of possible microbes,
or disease germs, for few hours after their
first application; that after this time it is i'm
possible thoroughly to clean the filter, and it
becomes place of deposit and accumulation
of the germs themselves, which are liable to
propagate at the ordinary temperature of
kitchens ats very rapid rate. Thus the filter
is worse than none. He concludes that the
only safety in the matter is 10 use that which
is '-nown to be pure, or if this cannot be
known with certainty, TO use only water that
has boiled and cooled with pure ices. which is
very conservative and sound advice.-Boston

|. There was time when List was the only
man i'll the world who could withstand the
charms of Nine. Dudevant, better known as
George Sand. One day List said to her.
Madame, st. Anthony and | are not the only
men beyond your reach. l can name scores who
are impervious to your advances. II chal-
lenge you to do it!' she cried, piqued at the
affront to her vanity. "Where are they, and
who are they?" "The monks of La Grande
Chartreuse, madame" replied List, with
smile, ';and now, may l beg light for my
cigar?" George Sand, however, did not dis
miss the subject from her mind so carelessly.
What scandal it would causel But what
triumph it would be to enter that famous
monastery. within whose walls no woman
had ever set foot! Forthwith she set about
it. She disguised herself as man and went
thither The disguise was successful No
one suspected her sex and she was freely adj
mitted. Three days she spent there unde-
tected
On the fourth she met monk whom she
had known. A few years before he had been
a gay young nobleman. He had fallen a
victim to her charms After time she had
cast him off for new lover, and, driven al
most to madness, he had fled to La Grande
Chartreuse and become monk. She knew
him the moment she met him and he knew
her, and each recognized the others knowl-
edge @Why have you come hither?" he
gasped. Her quick wit supplied a ready an
swer: For love of you" "Impossiblei"
aAlas, yes, FRANCHISE, it is too truel" said she.
II cast you off, confess; bat after you had
gone found that loved you better than my
own soul. My life has been hell without
you; and, see, I have come hither at risk of
my life to see you again and then die" He
was terribly agitated. He still loved her, but
he could not break his vows and escape from
the monastery. IF you are discovered" be
exclaimed, Eve must both perish. What can
we do?" "Let me go in peace" said she. II
have looked upon your face once more, and
am content" So that very day she departed
from the monastery and returned home.
When she saw List again she said to him:
@You are right, my friend. The monks are
beyond my reach" And what became of the
monk who had known herr He lived many
years longer, and was noted among his breth-
rem for his holiness of life and gentleness of
spirit When one day word came to him by
chance that George Sand was dead he went
to his cell and shut the door. An hour later
his brethren went to seek him and found him
dead.-ChicaCo Herald.

Infection from the Telephone.

As stranger in your city one is struck
with the extensive use of the telephone
even to the extent of creating new word
''phoning" or ''phine," to express the act of
using the instrument as means Of inter-
communication.
But in the contact of the breath with the
diaphragm in speaking, deposit of moisture
containing animal matter lodges upon the
parts, which is largely increased by the use
of the concentration or cup used by many,
and as the telephone is often situated in a
dark place, where no sun or air can come in
contact with it TO retard the growth Of
germs in this constantly increasing deposit,
and the decomposition Of this animal matter
produces a fetid odor which is sickeningly
disagreeable to sensitive persons using the
instrument, and may be the medium Of cir
culating the infection OF certain diseases
communicable through the breath of others.
where an instrument is promiscuously used
and no attention Is paid to cleansing it with
pure alcohol or a Gisinfecting solution con-
tanning permanganate of soda, carbolic acid.
vinegar or the like. Neglect in this matter Is
only second TO neglect OF cleansing table ware
after use by one before allowing il to be used
by another. The British Medical Journal
points out the danger in large cities Of infec-
ton arising from the proIniscuous use Of the
meuthpiece of n public telephone by numbers
Of persons and recommends that the mouth
piece be disinEected every time it is used to
prevent accidents.
\ solution Ct alcoholic spirits ~ water, car
bolic acid Il % 100. paFmanganaee Of soda
or vinegar should be kept always at hand and

Three Kinds of Canital.

To he first rate baseball player one must

HIS STOCK FOR THE NIGHT.

lie sells, perhaps, 100 in night, providing
the hOodlums don't kick over his can or steal
1t from him, or fill it up with beer or play
some other pranks upon him. Where he OBJ
tains his wurst no one knows. His stock for
night costs him maybe ten or fifteen cents,
and his sales when business is good may net
him 81 When sold out, he just turns off the
little jet of gasoline burning under his can,
thrusts his arm through the basket handle and
boards an owl car with one wurst as kind of
offering to the driver in lieu of his fare DC
casionally the gasoline tank on his can ex-
plodes and he loses all his stock, but dollar
or SO will fit him out again all right. His life
is not a happy one, for his customers are
mostly gay young men who are tout for
time," and they guy him or take his goods and
refuse to pay, or otherwise treat him badly
He is accomplishing, however, and he
cherishes no III Will toward those who poster
him.
But one thing ruffles his temper, and that is
to speak disparagingly of his wurst. When a
purchaser, holding out a nickel, remarks,
Gimme some dog" shade of sadness passes
over his face When he has a rush he can
turn out the wursts as rapidly as cook flips
pancakes, and his face is a perfect picture of
enjoyment as he watches crowd around
burying their faces in their wursts and roll
ing the hot morsels in their mouths to pre-
vent their being burnt. He pays tribute to
the policeman on his beat and to the various
night barkeepers. From the former he
receives protection when he don't particularly
need it, for the policeman isn't around when
the gang bothers him. From the barkeeper
he receives glass of beer in exchange for
wurst, and in winter is allowed to warm HIM
self at the stove. He makes his rounds two
and three times in a night, and can be heard
calling out his wurst in the darkness where
he can't be seen. He is never visible in the
day time; he sleeps until night, and then he's
out with his can and his basket, and his cry
"Hot veeny" or "Veeny ver-r-rrst Globe

THE WIENERWURST.
TINE MAN WHO SELLS THE DE-
LlCIOUS MORSEL TO THE OWLS.

The Wienerwurst Man as Much a Mys-
terry as Are the Ingredients of the
Delicacy He Dispenses-Extent of His
Trade.
When day merges into night the fakirs of
day. as IL they were race of ephemera. dis
appear or are metamorphosed and an en-
tlrely new set of characters are found scat
tered along the streets down town. They
come out when the electric lights begin to
buzz and sputter just like the swarms of in
sects which besiege the white globes and fall
to the sidewalk, where they crackle under
the feet Of the pedestrian. Conspicuous
among these people of the night is the wiener
wurst man. He is invariably German, and
as much mystery as are the ingredients of
the delicacy he dispenses. He is at times q
stationary institution, though more often
peripatetic, for he cannot long occupy any
corner without attracting rivals to bis place
to destroy his business. The traveller by night
runs across him in all kinds of dark places,
tranping through dark alleys with the light
under his can flashing on the stones or the
walls On either side.
Then, again, he is found posted at corner
with his steaming can upon his big basket
and ever and anon giving vent to lugu-
brious cry, "Hot veeny," Or perhaps he'll
vary it by rasping out, ''Hot veeny ver-r-r-r-
rst, /" with sound as though he was tearing
the shirt off his back or running his hand
down the movable Stats of window shutter
de answers indifferently to the name
''Chorgh" or "Owgoost," or anything else
bestowed upon him by his customers in their
humor, and he'll say in reply to question as
to his price, "one," or maybe 'two fr-r-r
nlggle." When the lucer is forthcoming he
opens his can with his knife, dips his fork
down through a cloud of steam and draws
forth the ruddy and odorous sausage red hot.
Then he shuts the can, prizes open the lid Of
his big oval basket and whips out two slices
of bread and a square bottle With his knife
he spreads ont some borseradish on one Of the
slices, deposits thereon the wurst and then
slaps on top Of it the other slice of bread and
hands it over a kind of a sandwich, with the
ends of the wurst sticking out like amputated
fingers and the borseradish oozing out all
around under the pressure 1t is eaten just

cause it is very hot, but it is delicious NOR

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's
German Syrup, within a few years, has
astonished the world. 1t is, without
doubt, the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and effectual
cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest
lung troubles. 1t acts on an entirely diff
fercnt principle from the usual prcscrip-
tons given by physicians, as it does not
dry up a cough and leave the disease still
in the system, but on the contrary removes
the cause of the trouble, heals the parts
affected and leaves them in a purely
healthy condition. A bottle kept in the
house for use when the diseases make
their appearance, will save DOCTORS bile
and a long spell of serious Illness. A trial
will convince you of these facts. 1t is
positively sold by all druggists and general
dealers in the land. Price, 20 cents, large
bottles.
